Are Car Fire Extinguishers Afraid of High Temperatures Inside the Vehicle?

[StEvan]

It depends on local temperature conditions and maintenance. Generally, they are not afraid. The reasons are as follows: 1. Theoretical temperature: Car fire extinguishers are mostly dry powder extinguishers, which theoretically can be stored at temperatures ranging from -20°C to 55°C. Normally, they will not explode when placed in the car. 2. Impact: However, excessively high temperatures can accelerate the aging of related components of the extinguisher, leading to leaks and rendering the extinguisher ineffective. 3. Precautions for using car fire extinguishers: The placement of the extinguisher in the car, such as under the driver's seat or in the glove box, or larger ones can be placed in the trunk, can avoid direct sunlight and facilitate quick access. Regularly check the condition of the extinguisher.
